Jacks Mill School - Helping out in our Community

In the last weeks of Term One, a team of Te Kinga students helped to clean up the area and statuettes at the Jacks Mill School historical site. This was to help prepare for the opening of a new artists creative/retreat centre. The site located nearby at Kōtuku - and it is a really interesting place (well worth a visit!).

Lake Creatures...

On one of the many sunny afternoons we've had, we ventured down to the lake and found these creatures living in the water - do you know what they are?

End of Term Lake Day...

On the last day of term, we set out to the Arnold River beach area of the lake. One of the important things we learn in Te Kinga is to light, build and extinguish fires safely. This is an important survival skill AND it a fire is a great place to cook on - especially when it comes to baked potatoes and marshmallow easter eggs (yes try this one!). We also went into the bush to check our traps and found some very interesting forest creatures - we are so lucky to live in the beautiful and unique Te Tai Poutini!
